Default units are meters.

There is no way to change the units in FastCap2. As a matter of fact, since capacitance scales with dimensions, you hardly need that.

For instance, suppose you want to know the capacitance of a 1mm radius sphere. You can enter the model of a 1m radius sphere, get the capacitance (about 0.111 nF) and scale it to 1mm, to get 0.111 pF.

Please be aware that with FastHenry2 the story is quite different, because of skin and proximity effects, that depend on the frequency and do not scale.

Best Regards,
Enrico
